Vascular Injury: Endovascular and Open Surgical Management

This one-of-a-kind guide gets endovascular and trauma specialists up to date on the rapidly evolving field of vascular injury managementNew technologies have created fresh opportunities to explore improved care options for patients with vascular injuries, and the discipline of vascular surgery is increasingly moving toward wider use of endovascular treatments. This makes collaboration between trauma and vascular specialists more important than ever when diagnosing and managing care of patients with vascular injuries.Edited by highly experienced, dual-trained trauma and vascular/endovascular surgeons, Vascular Injury: Endovascular and Open Management walks readers through the process of medical, open, or endovascular management of contemporary vascular injury. Detailed description of endovascular technical elements help endovascular specialists adapt their traditional vascular surgery approaches to trauma; at the same time, the book familiarizes trauma specialists with an expanded technical skillset, as well as the strengths/limitations of technologies not provided elsewhere in traditional trauma training. Chapters include:A brief history of vascular injury - training, diagnosis and managementContemporary diagnosis of vascular injuryGeneral open vascular repair for traumaBasics of endovascular trauma managementEndovascular tools and techniques for trauma applicationsVascular damage controlCervical vascular injuryUpper extremity injuryAxillo-subclavian injuriesThoracic arch and proximal great vesselsAbdominal aortic and Iliac artery injuryGeneral principles of post-operative management and surveillanceCompartment syndrome in the setting of vascular injurySolid organ embolization for management of traumatic injuryHybrid trauma care environments and vascular trauma teamsChapters include demographics of injury/epidemiology; anatomy; diagnosis; roles of medical management and open intervention; techniques of open exposure and management; role of endovascular intervention; techniques of endovascular exposure and management; roles for anticoagulation and antiplatelets; post-operative care and surveillance.
